Sigh :) This was waiting to happen sooner or later. English is not my first
language. I should have looked that one up. I'll leave the misspelling in for
now, since it would really force everyone to edit their configs the next time,
too (I already had a major config change in 4.10-12).

Fixed, thanks.

I'll look into this. The spamd report is multiline. I don't like "parsing" it
too much, so I'll probably end up putting it into a multiline header in its
original form.

Yes, that may go in too. I use Mozilla Mail which can filter on custom headers
fine. I just checked out Outlook and it does not seem to be able to do so :)

I'll probably wait a few weeks before making further feature additions. I want
to let the code "settle down" a bit and see it there are any more bugs, since I
rewrote most of the patch with -12.
